Downfront2 – This young actor signed on a TV series thinking he was going to be the star of the show. Well his co-stars are outshining him by winning awards and acclaim. The actor is not happy about the situation, but, since he needs the money, he’s staying put.

Penn Bagley from Gossip Girl
I thought it was Penn because everyone outshines him and he’s thinks he’s next best thing. But i dont know if the other actors are getting awards. So im not sure.
Definitely Adrian G. From Entourage.
It’s Adrien Griener.
Penn could never have thought he was going to be the star of GG. It was always sold as Blake’s show, and from the get go, Chace was touted as “the hot one”. Same thing with Joshua Jackson. This was always that Aussie’s show. He was never meant to be the “star”. Though he has been giving a couple of breakthrough scenes…
Tracey Morgan is getting plenty of attention, and while 30 Rock is an ensemble show, everyone knows that it was always going to be – and is – Tina’s show.
Entourage started out as a show about Adrien and his friends. No one expected Jeremy to be the breakout star or even Kevin Dillion. Everyone but Adrien, has been getting favorable mainstream attention. With good reason. He’s annoying. What happened to the cute and cool guy from Sebastian Cole?
Alan Payne from Tyler Perry’s show “The House of Payne”
i’d say Kevin Connolly before Adrian Grenier.
Connolly has top billing on the show and it was originally focused on Eric and his trials as Vince’s manager. but Ari and then Johnny Drama ended up being the breakout stars, so…
oh yeah… all the folks saying Allen Payne? notice that it says “YOUNG actor”… Payne is like 40!
(not that Connolly is super-young either, but he’s definitely considerably younger than Allen…)
Penn has my vote. It is beyond me that the heads at CW did not see Chace’s oozing sex appeal and Ed Westwick is hot as all hell but not in the way I would expect network execs to notice. But Penn has been outshined by their sexy.
penn badgley from gossip girl.
chace and ed are WAY more famous.
